A handbag one owned by former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has been sold at auction for £25 000. The black Asprey handbag, which was being sold by Christie's to raise money for charity, was owned by Thatcher for more than thirty years before the sale.
It was famously pictured with the former Prime Minister alongside US President Ronald Reagan during her famous visit to the United States in 1985.
It had been expected to attract up to £100 000 during the sale organised by Jeffrey Archer and also containing donations from Eric Clapton, Bernie Ecclestone and Sir Michael Parkinson, but it wasn't to be and an unnamed Cypriot was able to snap up the bag for £25 000.
